Interview About Calling and Church History

Recently a member of my congregation asked if she could interview me about pastoral ministry, calling, and Church History. I decided to record it and include it in my podcast feed. I hope you are edified by it. God bless.

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.
1 Peter 5:8-9

Ephesians 3:20, The Message
